Driver ’ s Education

We offer teen driver education in cooperation with Safeway Driving School . Classroom and behind-the-wheel lessons emphasize defensive driving techniques tailored to the inexperienced teen driver while targeting to influence the invincible teen attitude . All of Safeway ’ s instructors are licensed by the Minnesota Dept . of Public Safety .

Classroom instruction prepares the student to take the Minnesota permit test and begin the responsibility of driving . The 30 hours of classroom time is structured into 10 independent lessons . Students must be on time for all classes . After class is completed , students that are 15 years old are eligible to take their permit test at any Minnesota exam center . The permit test is not provided during the class . Students can take the class at age 14½ but cannot take their permit test until age 15 .

Behind-the-wheel instruction includes six hours of driving in three , two-hour private lessons . All driving is done in a real car on actual city streets , highways and freeways with a responsible , licensed Safeway instructor . Safeway recommends students take their first lesson after at least 5 hours of practice driving . The lessons should be a minimum of 30 days apart to allow for practice . The lessons can be completed up to one year after completing classroom . Scheduling is offered online for 24 / 7 convenience . All of Safeway ’ s cars are white with identical graphics , so parents and students are confident that it is a Safeway car picking up the student for a lesson . Students can get picked up for their behind-the-wheel lesson from home , school or work .

Parent involvement is required to produce safe , responsible teen drivers . It is critical that parents plan to practice regularly with their new student drivers . Safeway offers a free online parent class on their website . The state requires that students have a minimum of 50 hours of practice ( 15 hours at night ). The practice time must be recorded on a state-approved Supervised Driving log and presented at the road test .
